Is Uncle Mike "The Unknown Liberal"?
Ah, the hubris of the right wing. It is as boundless and eternal as God's love, isn't it? I guess that's why an outfit called Liberty Counsel is asking its followers to "adopt a liberal" -- a liberal whose benighted soul you can pray for.
Pick one or more of the liberals from the list we have posted online at www.LC.org, or choose your own liberal(s) to adopt. If you are led to choose one or more of the liberals we have selected for consideration, please read their brief biographical statement, including the reasons they stand in need of prayer.
Pray earnestly and intensely for them! Pray that the Lord would move upon them and cause them to be the kind of leaders who will encourage others to lead "a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." We encourage you to seek the Lord's guidance on how to pray for your liberal(s), always allowing Him to temper your prayer with His love and mercy.
Actually, this makes a lot of sense. We know liberals are evil, right? Of course we do. And we know God, aside from being really conservative, is also omnipotent. So if we pray hard enough, God will make the liberals into conservatives, and we don't have to hate them anymore. There will be no reason to hate them, because they will love the things that God loves, like tax cuts and bombing the shit out of third-world countries. And they will hate the things God hates, like gays and poor people.
Liberty Counsel provides a pretty obvious list of liberals we should pray for, like Hillary Clinton and Rachel Maddow, and a couple of Republican moderates the Liberty Council has decided qualify as liberals, like Mike Bloomberg and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then they throw in "The Unknown Liberal" as a placeholder -- in case you don't want to pray for any of these liberals, or don't know any of your own.
But wait! Liberty Counsel has another great idea!
There will likely be additional liberals the Lord may bring to mind who desperately need your prayers. Feel free to select your own unique liberal and adopt them for prayer, perhaps even nominating one or more liberals for listing on our website by emailing us at liberty@LC.org.
Brethren, I hope that you will all pray for me, your old Uncle Mike. I stand before you as a thoroughly unrepentant liberal. I have read liberal publications. I have written liberal words. I have given money to liberal causes. I have even thought liberal thoughts.
You may not realize it, but the Lord has brought you to this web site! He wants you to nominate blogger Uncle Mike to the Liberty Counsel for inclusion on their list. Just email them at liberty@LC.org.
And tell 'em God sent you.
